Insulated roller shutter doors in Southend-on-Sea

The short version

If your unit in Southend-on-Sea loses heat through an old single-skin shutter, an insulated roller door is often the simplest fix. You get a free survey, a written fixed price and full commissioning on completion.

Town: Southend-on-Sea
Postcode district: SS1
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.

What this work can involve

Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.
Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.

Powered door rules that apply in Southend-on-Sea

Southend-on-Sea is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Essex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
